  • Sumiyoshi Taisha Shrine

    Osaka's Sumiyoshi Taisha (住吉大ē¤¾, "Sumiyoshi Grand Shrine") is one of Japan's oldest shrines. Founded in the 3rd century before the introduction of Buddhism, it displays a unique style of shrine architecture, called Sumiyoshi-zukuri, that is free of influence from the Asian mainland. Only two other shrine architecture styles are also considered purely Japanese: Shinmei-zukuri as seen at the Ise Shrines and Taisha-zukuri as seen at Izumo Taisha.

    30 minutes

  • Shitennoji

    Shitennoji (四天ēŽ‹åÆŗ, Shitennōji) is one of Japan's oldest temples and the first ever to be built by the state. It was founded in 593 by Prince Shotoku, who supported the introduction of Buddhism into Japan. Although the temple's buildings burned down several times throughout the centuries, they were always carefully reconstructed to reflect the original 6th century design. The outer temple grounds are free to enter, but admission to the inner precinct, the Gokuraku-jodo Garden and the treasure house is paid. In the pebble covered courtyard of the inner precinct stand a five-storied pagoda that can be entered and ascended and the Main Hall (Kondo) in which Prince Shotoku is enshrined as a statue of Kannon.

    30 minutes

    The Umeda Sky Building (ę¢…ē”°ć‚¹ć‚«ć‚¤ćƒ“ćƒ«) is a spectacular high rise building in the Kita district of Osaka, near Osaka and Umeda Stations. It is also known as the "New Umeda City". The 173 meter tall building consists of two towers that are connected with each other by the "Floating Garden Observatory" on the 39th floor. The observatory offers great views of the city through its windows and from its open-air deck. In the basement, there is a restaurant floor that replicates a town of the early Showa Period, while offices occupy most other floors.

    30 minutes

The market has about 150 shops that predominantly sell fish, meat and produce, with other shops also purveying traditional sweets and low priced clothes and homeware. The market dates back to the Edo Period, and today makes for an atmospheric place to stroll around, shop and eat a variety of different street foods.

Osaka private tour with Yuki.

Published on Dec, 2024

Yuki provided a well organised and very informative tour of key sites throughout Osaka, including historic significance of Osaka.

Very enjoyable day

Published on Dec, 2024

It was a very nice day exploring Osaka with our guide Yuki. We customised the tour in advance in consultation with Yuki. She was very helpful, friendly and professional, and gave us suggestions on what to do and what to see. It was a really enjoyable experience.

Loving Japan history

Published on Nov, 2024

Yuko was our guide for this tour. She made an amazing job, told us some historic stories of the Osaka castle on how it was built and the man behind it. Such a sweet lady and she did her job well. Very friendly too.

Amazing Osaka day with sachiko

Published on Nov, 2024

Just finished a day trip with sachiko. She was so kind and lovely to spend the day with and share her knowledge of Osaka areas. We thoroughly enjoyed our day with her.

Walking in the rain but enjoying every minute, thanks to our guide.

Published on Nov, 2024

Despite the most torrential rain we have experienced, our guide Andy,made it such a pleasurable and memorable experience. His explanations and insights, and his personality were great and it was a pleasure to walk in the rain with him. He took us on a fabulous journey through Osaka that we will always remember. We cannot recommend Andy high enough. He is a wonderful person and guide.
